Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient pour la rétention menstruelle et le vidage, en forme de coupe (2) ou de coupe plane (21), présentant un tube de drainage (3) constitué d'au moins une section d'épaisseur de paroi mince (7) très souple, et d'une section (8) de grosseur de paroi plus importante. Lors de l'application d'une force vers le bas sur la section (8), le tube (3) se replie sur sa section (7), fermant le passage du liquide, et l'extrémité du tube (3) restant ancrée directement sur la paroi vaginale ou sous un évidement (19), (20), (25) pratiqué dans le récipient (1). Pour le vidage en milieu de journée, on applique une force vers le bas sur la section (8) pour déplier le tube de drainage (3). Le bord horizontal (13) de la coupe (2) présente des encoches (14) pour faciliter le pliage et peut être incliné, ou à double anneau (15).
